Thank you for your bug report, that's not really a bug or a new behaviour, automatic login is about login not about unlock. In any case not a control center issue

The only option I can find to fix this is to disable the lock-screen completely, which I don't want to since I still want it to be an option to manually lock it. Setting Privacy > Screen Lock to off doesn't affect this behavior at all. The solution seems to be to use dconf-editor and change org.gnome.desktop.screensaver.ubuntu-lock-on-suspend to false. I got the solution after asking on askubuntu.com: https://askubuntu.com/questions/990056/turn-off-requesting-user- password-after-suspend-17-10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1740792/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
